Use a needle or a small sharp knife to make a small prick in the rounded bottom side of each egg.

Bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle simmer over high heat.

Turn the heat to medium-high and carefully add the eggs.

Use a chopstick or wooden spoon to swirl the water and eggs in a circular motion.

Cook for 7 minutes.

Drain the eggs and place them into iced water.

When the eggs are cool, peel them and place them into a bowl.

For the soy sauce marinade, combine soy sauce, sake, mirin, and water.

Pour the mixture over the eggs and set aside in the fridge to marinate overnight.

Remove from the soy sauce mixture and slice in half.
